Locking your keys in the trunk can feel like a worst-case scenario—especially when there’s no visible trunk lock and no keyhole on the passenger door. This is a situation we see more often than people think, particularly with newer vehicles and convertibles.
Recently, Mr. Locksmith Automotive responded to a call involving a 2014 Mustang convertible where the customer’s keys were locked inside the trunk. At first glance, it looked like a major problem—but with the right knowledge and tools, it was a straightforward, non-destructive solution.
Why Trunk Lockouts Can Be Tricky
On many modern vehicles, including certain Mustangs, the trunk release switch is located inside the cabin. Once the vehicle is locked or the alarm is set, pressing the interior trunk button won’t work unless the vehicle is properly unlocked first.
In this case:
-
There was no external trunk lock
-
No lock on the passenger door
-
The keys were fully inaccessible inside the trunk
Reaching in to press the trunk release didn’t help—because the vehicle’s security system was doing exactly what it was designed to do.

The Correct Solution: Mechanical Key Access
The solution wasn’t forcing entry or damaging the vehicle. Instead, it required proper automotive locksmith procedures.
Because we had access to the vehicle’s key code, we were able to:
-
Cut a mechanical key
-
Unlock the driver’s door manually
-
Reach inside the vehicle
-
Press the trunk release switch
-
Safely retrieve the keys from the trunk
What If There Were No Keys at All?
If the keys had been completely lost (not just locked in the trunk), the solution would be different. In those cases, Mr. Locksmith Automotive can program a brand-new transponder key, allowing the customer to start and drive the vehicle without needing the original keys.
